    The best fighting game we've played since "Street Fighter Alpha 2," this is arguably the best fighting game to date.

    A game that’s as near to perfection as any other game in the genre.

    SSX
    There is an unimaginable amount of depth underneath its flashy exterior.
    • Metascore: 95
    • Critic Score 100
    Everything we wanted; the graphics are so realistic it’s actually quite scary. The sound effects and background music push your adrenaline to the max, and you’ll find yourself in shock after playing this game.

    • Critic Score 100
    A truly fantastic game and quite possibly one of the greatest games of all time...it really must be seen to be believed. Get your shoes on, buy yourself a good supply of new pants (underwear for our American readers) and pick this one up today!
    • Metascore: 96
    • Critic Score 100
    It's a perfect cocktail of action, suspense, logic, style and substance; you simply couldn't ask for anything more.
    • Metascore: 97
    • Critic Score 100
    One of the best videogames experience we've had in a very long time. It’s not about the blood, or being able to indulge in illegal activities, although amusing, the simple fact is that GTA3 is so playable.
    • Metascore: 95
    • Critic Score 100
    The massive amount of new features sets this game miles apart from "GTA: 3" - everything from interior locations, the combat, the graphics to the car handling has been improved, making this into a totally brilliant game.
    • Metascore: 89
    • Critic Score 100
    The most engrossing, deepest and open-ended videogame you’ll see for a very long time, at times it feels like more then a videogame, something to get completely caught up in and realise that time has no importance when you’re playing it.
    • Metascore: 90
    • Critic Score 100
    If you’d like to keep your friends and job stay clear away from this game, if however you want to get sucked into a game that rarely let’s you leave, then you need to get this game, simple.
    • Metascore: 90
    • Critic Score 100
    A true gamers game, there’s no storyline to worry about, no complex gameplay mechanics, just simple pure and unadulterated fun.
    • Metascore: 96
    • Critic Score 100
    A perfect balance between videogames and cinema.
    • Metascore: 84
    • Critic Score 100
    Most importantly the game’s gradual learning curve, handy tutorials and simple interface is immediately accessible, yet there’s still plenty to learn and discover when it comes to the subtleties of filmmaking 30 hours later.
    • Metascore: 95
    • Critic Score 100
    A true platform defining title; in 20 years time gamers will look back at the Playstation2 and hold GTA: San Andreas as the true epoch-making title of the times. Nothing can be understated, RockStar North have truly delivered beyond everybody’s expectations.
    • Metascore: 98
    • Critic Score 100
    Smashing down the barriers between videogames and movies, GTA4 is what happens when flawless game design and ridiculously high production values collide.
    • Metascore: 97
    • Critic Score 100
    A decade on from "Mario 64" and Miyamoto delivers another landmark title, one that almost grips the term 'instant classic' with both hands tightly right from the off. Innovative level design, original gameplay, the best graphics and soundtrack on Wii to date, and the return to form of the first true superstar of videogames (sorry "Pac-Man") means that Galaxy will no doubt be looked back upon in years to come with the same level of veneration as "Mario 64" is today.

    Undoubtedly one of the finest games in recent years, LittleBigPlanet deserves every single shred of a 10. You won't find a more polished or rewarding videogame this year, and for quite some time we'd imagine.
    • Metascore: 90
    • Critic Score 100
    This is DLC for the initiated. There's plenty of content here to keep even the most skilled GTA gamer happy for a good number of hours.

    Uncharted 2 is a magnificent example of how this generation can infuse movie production quality with enjoyable gameplay and maintain a sense of fluidity throughout the feature presentation. The sheer craft on display throughout every single moment deserves every accolade it receives; truly Naughty Dog has delivered a generation-defining experience that is worthy of buying/borrowing/stealing a PS3.

    Multi-vehicle races that involve parachute jumps, speedboats and fast cars are the most enjoyable however, combining GTA's strongest elements into pulse-pounding races that are a genuine highlight.

    Overall FIFA 10 plays a much more varied, fluid, and believable game of football, which easily sets a new standard in the genre. We spent a fair amount of time between matches wondering what it takes for a football game to get a 10 and we're inclined to believe Rutter and his team have actually achieved it this year. It's a marked improvement over last year's 9 rating and undoubtedly provides the finest videogame take on football so far.

    Heavy Rain is a rare experience that can be enjoyed by a watching audience and not just the person with the control pad. It's also one that you'll certainly want to play through at least one more time just to see what you missed and perhaps reach a better outcome.

    It's a fitting swansong for Bungie, setting a beautiful end that takes you right back to the very beginning.

    This game is full of surprises and you never know what is going to happen, and that is a very good thing.

    I couldn't possibly say enough in this review to give you an idea of how unbelievable this game is, you will have to experience it for yourself...and try and do it with a 5.1 stereo system...One of the best videogames ever created.

    A perfect game; cinematic, compelling, exciting, and most importantly damn fun to play! Believe the hype it is this good.

    A brilliant game for Xbox and Xbox Live!, quite possible the finest racing title ever created.

    Do not let the visual style put you off, you'll soon warm to it like everybody I've ever seen who's taken one look at the game. However more importantly the gameplay is the definition of perfection.
    • Metascore: 92
    • Critic Score 100
    Combine the wonderfully fluid control system, level designs that ooze the 'one more go' appeal and the fact that it's Mario, and you've got one of the best games in a long time and certainly the GameCube's finest hour to date. [Import]
